NovelEnglishChapter 1536
As the road continued to narrow, she was beginning to lose phone signals as well.
Finally, as she entered an extremely lush forest, she saw a small wooden cabin in the middle of the woods.
The reality was grim, despite the fact that most log cabins in the woods sounded magical in fairy tales.
The wooden cabin was simple and covered in moss.
It was carefully hidden in the woods, unnoticeable to most.
There was simple fencing around it, making it look like an ordinary farmer's hut.
Lily checked the address on her phone again before looking up at the hut in front of her.
She was sure this was the place.
Other than the cabin, there seemed to be no other residences around.
As she couldn't drive the car forward anymore, she stopped and got out before walking to the cabin.
When she reached the door, she realized that the house was not as simple as it looked on the outside.
There were surveillance cameras all around, and the cabin seemed to be fortified.

This made her feel a little more at ease when she saw that he still made it a point to protect himself.
Sure enough, the surveillance worked, as she was immediately greeted when she arrived at the door.
"Ms.Christian?"
The other party was a man with a thick beard, looking like a brute.
Lily had never seen him before, yet he knew her last name.
After slightly nodding, the man said, "Please cwith me!"
With that, he opened the door and stepped aside for Lily to walk in.
Once she entered the compound, he closed the fence's gate again and strode into the house.
Lily followed closely behind him as she looked around the area.
This place was relatively hidden.
It seemed like a good hiding spot.
On top of that, the signal was not strong, so it should be hard to track him.
She had no idea how Alexander found this place.
However, it was not a surprise either.
As the head of the family, he would always have scontacts on hand to help him out.
Lily noticed that Alexander was not present when they first entered the living room.
Instead, the man went to the table and took out two masks.
After putting one on himself, he passed the other one to Lily.
She waved and signaled that she did not need one.
Then she took her own mask out of her pocket.
She knew the plague was contagious, so she had taken protective measures.
Not only did she bring a mask, but she also had disinfectant and gloves with her.
She had to prioritize her safety and the child in her belly in such a situation.

This was the biggest responsibility she had toward Alexander and herself.
The man watched Lily take out her disinfectant and was startled.
He put down the bottle he was about to give her and watched as she took all of her safety measures in an orderly way.
The man was impressed.
Once he saw that she was done, he led her into the back room.
There was nothing in the back room except an empty bed.
Lily was stunned to see such a simple room.
The man walked to the head of the bed and pressed on a raised piece of wood in the headrest before turning it twice to the left and
three times to the right.
Then, a creaking sound echoed.
The wooden bed slowly turned to one side, revealing a small tunnel.
From the opening, Lily could see the steps that extended down, but she couldn't see the end of them.
She did not rush down as she glanced back up at the man.
Without saying a word, the man took out a flashlight from the side and led the way down the steps.
